Wind-Relieving Pose (Pawanmuktasana)

• Lie on your back with your feet together and arms beside your body.
• Breathe in and as you exhale, bring your right knee towards your chest and press the thigh on your abdomen with clasped hands.
• Breathe in again and as you exhale, lift your head and chest off the floor and touch your chin to your right knee.
• Stay there and take deep, long breaths in and out.
• As you exhale, tighten the grip of the hands on the knee and increase the pressure on the chest. As you inhale, loosen the grip.
• As you exhale, come back to the ground and relax.
• Repeat this pose with the left leg and then with both the legs together.
